"Sorry I am to hear that," she says in her strange way of speakin'. "In my church, we see it as a duty to bear children if we may," and my nose wrinkles at that though she continues "but that does not preclude having relations with the same sex. And I have always preferred women, myself." She smiles at me, and I do warm to her a bit, despite my wariness. "They're more comfortable t'be 'round," I say, though thinkin' 'a Glass I know it ain't always true.
"Aye, we'd have executed him in Ladon, too." I nod, glad 'v it. "Though we prefer burning to hanging." She says it casually, but my eyes go wide. I stop myself from exclaimin', but it's barbaric. Hangin' ain't much better, sure, but it's quicker.
My lips must be tight 'cause she changes the topic. "The town seems prosperous, that aside. I hear it was not always thus." I shrug. "We've always done well, with the wind farm 'n all. But yeah, the past year's brought more people," I admit. "And it seems more folks are comin' in off the farms too. It ain't necessarily a good thing though," I add. "There's more bad folk, and more murders and such too 'a late."
